I just converted from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA (about 25k).I know I have to pay taxes next year on this. I believe on all the money. Is this correct? The bigger question is if I can take capital losses this year against the money that I will be taxed on. I doubt I can but am unsure. All responces appreciated.
